A word about our philosophy
The idea of mumsnet is that by pooling knowledge and experience, parents make the job of parenting easier. Please bear in mind that issues to do with raising children can be very sensitive and that everyone has the right to make their own choices when it comes to bringing up their kids. This is a discussion forum and we ask you to respect other people's right to their opinions, even if you disagree with them. Our policy is to keep intervention to a minimum and let the conversation flow. Having said that we will remove postings that are obscene, racist, or contain personal attacks.

Whilst we allow unlimited nickname changes to preserve anonymity we don?t allow name changing for malicious or inflammatory purposes. Members who change nickname for these purposes may be asked to leave.

Please bear in mind that we all know how difficult this parenting business can be, and if there's one thing all of us could do with, it's some moral support.

Thanks Hunkermunker - Much Appreciated

hunkermunker · 31/08/2005 09:57

I won't say anything about how I mentioned it far earlier on this thread already then

I wish the ladies on the ttc thread all the luck in the world - I've been there myself and know how hard it is xxxxxx

Lottielou · 31/08/2005 09:43

I don't either, hunker. Think tickers just start a bad, bad trend.

hunkermunker · 31/08/2005 09:34

Still don't see the problem with typing "cd24 of 15th cycle" or whatever after posts on ttc threads.

QueenOfQuotes · 31/08/2005 09:22

sorry but I hate to say it - the bitchiness DID appear to start on one 'side' of the fence...(although then 'spawned' - onto the otherside).

It would have been a bit boring if the first 15 posters just posted

"no" - wouldn't it???

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2005 08:31

Sites which have tickers seem to be set up differently, so I think the software they use is designed to allow tickers as part of the core product...and I think they are an inhibiting factor in the intuitive understanding of how a site works across a number of threads...

Thankyou Tech but i think i may be outed if you did.

I love the site as it is and honestly it was just a thought. This ttcing buisness is heartbreaking especially when miscarriage is inviolved too. And yes i ma slightly obessive a=bout getting pg again, and im not ashamed of that!!!!

I was very upset yesterday, there was a lot of bitchy, sarcastic un called for comments but also alot of support for me and i thank all those that were there for me.

Hello maddyd,

We'll look into the practicality of putting tickers on the ttc threads. It might be tricky to embed them in the messages but we could probably set up a separate page to display a list of them. Then anyone who wants one could set one up.

Regards,
Tech

snafu · 31/08/2005 07:36

Move back to the thread you came from?

QueenOfQuotes · 31/08/2005 00:42

ooo what fun and games - can't believe I missed it all - just my luck to find the good stuff when it's finished

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 31/08/2005 00:23

Wow

Just catching up.Did not know what a ticker was (not sure if I do now)

But I know this much.If somebody asked me my opinion then I would not be sarcastic or nasty in what can only be seen as a vain attempt to appear witty or clever.

And to say, and yes I will quote,"There's a special circle in hell for people who make that stuff up" is in the very least a very unpleasant thing to say.

Be nice to one another wherever you are and remember that there are some sensitive souls posting here.

peepee · 30/08/2005 20:48

GOOD

Just making sure!

Roobie · 30/08/2005 20:41

errrr, I think everyone stopped it a long while ago peepee...

peepee · 30/08/2005 20:38

STOP IT THE LOT OF YOU!

STOP.....We are supposed to be supporting each other not bickering!

If you don't support it have your say (not a speech) then move on back to the thread you came from! And chill out.
